Our membership is composed of sons of American Revolutionary patriots.

There are also societies in Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and an International Society. Most of our societies are composed of smaller organizational units called chapters. There are more than 500 local and regional S. A. R. Chapters. Individual members normally belong to their local chapter and their state, regional and national societies. Here in Kentucky we have 18 Chapters throughout the Commonwealth.
